Laurie: I know that I have said this before but I do enjoy seeing these pieces. great work!
Artist Reply: Thank you so much Joey!! I haven't drawn like this since I was a child...just sit down and draw with nothing to look at for reference. I had forgotten the joy and the freedom that comes with it. It feels like learning to draw all over again.
Artist Reply: Thank you so much Cindy!! These women ones are more about the feelings...I try not to fix things, just draw it as I feel it at the time so they're not 'perfect". Trying to learn how to convey what's in my heart and not worry so much about fixing things. Feels pretty good to not worry about it!! :)
You are getting better every time, Laurie! Keep up the good work.
Artist Reply: Thank you so much John!!! I'm practicing and practicing...these women are also alot about the feelings...I try not to fuss too much with it as I go along and just draw when comes from my emotions. Feels kind of good to be able to do that...I've never been able to before.
awwwwww wow laurie, this is so wonderful, a sense of sheer joy shoots right off the image!!!!!! bravo!
Artist Reply: Ohhh Joanna thank you so much for picking up on that!!!! These new images of the women are all kind of me...they may all look a bit different, they're more about the feeling than the "perfect" look to the piece. I feel so happy to be able to have conveyed that to you with this...she's feeling the joy of knowing that she doesn't have to be perfect ...just be who she is and people will still love her. And here you are proving it to me!!! :) :) :) Thank you!!!!
